PDF files downloaded on Facebook cannot be saved locally | HUAWEI Support Global

【Problem phenomenon】

After downloading a PDF file in the Facebook group, the downloaded PDF file cannot be viewed in the file management or local storage, nor can it be found

【Cause】 Thank you for your attention and support of, Facebook is not a file-hosting service. They are built around sharing status updates and (highly compressed) photos back and forth, and in order to prevent the download of pirated books, Facebook hides the download path of PDF files, so we cannot view the downloaded files on the Android device.
【Solution】

1. It is recommended that you use WPS office to view or use your browser to save files downloaded by Facebook.

  a) open Facebook, find the file you need to download, click the three dots in the upper right corner — Copy

  Link

  b) Use your browser to open the copied link. After downloading the file, you can directly use Google Drive to open and read it.

2. It is also recommended that you contact the Facebook developer team official channel to report this issue
